Background
It is one of the first songs written and recorded with Emily Armstrong on lead vocals replacing Chester Bennington, with Mike Shinoda stating, "Unshatter was an early track we made while recording From Zero; Emily's huge vocal in the bridge was one of the moments that gave us an indication of what was possible together."{{Cite magazine |date=April 25, 2025 |title=Linkin Park unleash new single, Unshatter |url=https://www.kerrang.com/unshatter-official-visualizer-linkin-park-from-zero-deluxe-edition |access-date=April 27, 2025 |magazine=Kerrang! }}{{Cite magazine |last=Howell |first=Maddy |date=April 25, 2025|title=Linkin Park Drop New Song 'Unshatter' |url=https://rocksound.tv/news/linkin-park-drop-new-song-unshatter |access-date=April 27, 2025 |magazine=Rock Sound }} The song was written by all band members and Jake Torrey, who also co-wrote "Overflow" and "Good Things Go."
